Yes, Autoblogger Pro was based originally based on feedwordpress (stated many times, use the search)
Yes, there was drama about this. Ask Damian2001
Yes, it was rewritten, given proper credit, and unencoded. Again use the search.

I think you'll agree Autoblogger Pro does a bit more.
PS For everyone else reading this, expect an announcement later this week regarding a free version of Autoblogger Pro (not limited in any way)
